Central and state-level ministers have apparently expressed dismay that terrorists are using apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to communicate out of the reach of the authorities. “We can't allow there to be areas that are practically outside the law", said interior minister Thomas de Maiziere, according to Reuters.
